UniField 3 Mk II

Just took delivery (from an Audiogoner, thanks Billy!) of a pair of VSA Unifield 3 MkII, set up in a 15 by 24 room, now being driven by a 70 wpc KT150 Lyric Ti140 integrated (thanks Alfred!) playing music from an old Marantz SA8001 and need to say that these speakers exceed my hopes and expectations. My other system has Vandy 5As, and this set up in this big room rivals what I hear from the bigger setup. Playing Dylan Red River Shore on repeat, and wonder how it gets much better.

Hello Heathman,

I just saw this; one year later am still enamored with these speakers.  I have zero regrets, none at all.   On the best recordings they are magical, and on less than best they still allow me to be involved in the music.  In my big system, Vandersteen 5A, the music can have a bit more weight, all around a better presentation, but these little Unifields, they are wonderful.

i upgraded from the marantz to a Luxman CD/SACD player, a D-05U. I love my system!  I gave the Marantz, plus some Classe gear (DR5 pre, DR8 monoblocks) to a friend.  He is enjoying them.

I recently purchased a pair Unifield 3 (not the MKII). I wonder how you wire the speakers. I currently use 2 pairs of Audience AU24 SE but it’s not easy to connect to my Ayre AX5 Twenty integrates since it only has one set of spade terminals.
